David Fury, an executive producer of "24," said that the 2-hour movie allowed the writers to return to "the ideas and some of the material originally written for Season 7. It was a great opportunity to more properly set up the events to come."It wasn't clear from the Fox press release whether the "24" will take place in real time, but Fury said that it will -- for the most part.

"With the exception of a brief opening teaser scene, the movie will be in a real-time format, taking place several months before Day 7," Fury said.The events of the TV movie will help set up what occurs when “24” returns to its regular Monday-night time slot. When Season 7 begins, CTU will be gone and Bauer will be in Washington, D.C., on trial for the various alleged crimes he committed while battling terrorist plots.

Cast members Mary Lynn Rajskub (who plays computer whiz Chloe), Carlos Bernard (former Bauer buddy Tony Almeida) and James Morrison (CTU boss Bill Buchanan) will be among the few familiar faces when “24” returns in January.In other "24" developments, EW broke the news that the show has shut down production for a few weeks to fine tune the final set of episodes for Season 7.

Because of the season't strike-affected shooting schedule, "24" has some breathing room and its run of 24 consecutive episodes will not be affected by the shutdown, executive producer Howard Gordon said.
